* We're building libLLVM.so anyway. Saves a lot of time/space to link tools against it.
* MLIR tools do not yet respect this (but it doesn't seem to hurt).
* convolution, convolution_backward, _log_softmax, _log_softmax_backward_data, nll_loss_forward, nll_loss_backward, nll_loss2d_forward, nll_loss2d_backward, copy_
* Extends the recognition logic and metadata for handling inplace transformations, optional tensors, ints, lists and dropped args.
* The kernel_calls generated by test_conv_nllloss_grads.py now convert to ATen.
* The result *almost* comes out as a pure tensor program with the exception of the copy_ op, which I will do some followup work to deal with.
* More progress on #97
* Enables -gsplit-dwarf for both LLVM and NPCOMP, reducing the occurrence of the ~GB scale binaries.
* CMake shared linking seems incompatible with this, so shared objects are still "too big" but there are few of them.
* Reduces disk thrash on clean/install of everything.
* Deletes prior code generator from previous attempt (moved some of it into this one).
* Renames old generated tablegen source to "Legacy".
* Generates ODS and import rules for most binary and unary arithmetic ops.
* Removes old generated ops and integration tests that were testing details of the prior setup.
* Now gets far enough to capture batch_norm.
* Has some issues still with in-place ops.
* Can materialize constants.
* Includes an upgrade to PyTorch nightly, which has important bug fixes for fallback and boxed kernel dispatch.
* Fixes#78, #79, #80.
* Will do more testing in a follow-up once further bugs are fixed that facilitate getting at the other features.
Otherwise, on my machine MLIR somehow gets configured with Python 2,
which is not supported.
The `probe_python` stuff is copied from cmake_configure.sh
* Need to have a dag of shared library deps in order to interop across python extensions (as presented in ODM).
* Introduced add_npcomp_library and friends to mirror the MLIR setup.
* Adds a libNPCOMP.so shared library.
* Redirects tools and extensions to link against libNPCOMP.so (instead of static libs).
* Moves all libraries to lib/, all binaries to bin/ and all python extensions to python/. The invariant is that the rpaths are setup to have a one level directory structure.
* Reworks the _torch_mlir extension to build like the others (still need to come up with a consolidated rule to do this instead of open coded).
* Includes an upstream version bump to pick up needed changes.
Sizes with dynamic linking (stripped, release, asserts enabled):
libNPCOMP.so: 43M (includes much of the underlying LLVM codegen deps)
libMLIR.so: 31M
_npcomp.so: 1.6M (python extension)
_torch_mlir.so: 670K (python extension)
npcomp-capi-ir-test: 6.3K
npcomp-opt: 351K
npcomp-run-mlir: 461K
mnist-playground: 530K
Still more can be done to normalize and optimize but this gets us structurally to the starting point.
* Forks a subset of my shell functions into docker_shell_funcs.sh, specifically needed to create docker images that run as yourself.
* Extends the readme with the three command bootstrap to get a dev container running.
* Step by step instructions for configuring VSCode for Intellisense in either npcomp or LLVM.
* Changes LLVM config options to enable tests. This setup is now suitable for upstream changes as well without rebuilding.
* Uses the new dispatcher API.
* Just prints to the console for the moment when an op is captured.
* Executes the op through the existing implementation.
* Includes pybind11 directly (for some reason using the pytorch helper header for this depends on a source file not in the image).
* Installs nnpack into the image.
* Installs new-clang and LLD and configures environment to use it (otherwise, link time is terrible).
* Fixes a gcc compile error (in the off chance you build with default gcc compiler).
* Tests are failing based on some dialect registration stuff that must not have been factored correctly. Will followup with a fix.
* I expect that mlir-hlo will be a non-optional dependency of the project, so adding as a sub-module.
* IREE is an optional dependency and I'm keeping this as an out-of-tree checkout for the moment.
* The script will compute the join across both iree and mlir-hlo to find a common LLVM version.
* The script needs some more work (like a flag that says to update the version, etc). Likely needs more testing through an integrate or two.
This ~totally reworks the existing "runtime" stuff to be more
principled and usable, such as from Python. It's still not fully
production-quality, mainly in the department of memory management (e.g.
it currently leaks memory; we need to figure out "who frees memrefs" +
the analysis and transformation needed to do that (maybe use upstream
buffer allocation pass?)).
The user API is in include/npcomp/runtime/UserAPI.h, though
include/npcomp/JITRuntime/JITModule.h is a friendlier wrapper.
The stuff under {include,lib}/runtime is totally firewalled from the
compiler and tiny (<6kB, though no attention has gone into optimizing
that size). For example, we don't link in libSupport into the runtime,
instead having our own bare bones replacements for basics like ArrayRef
(the JITRuntime helps with bridging that gap, since it *can* depend on
all common LLVM utilities).
The overall features of npcomprt is that it exposes a module that
with multiple function entry points. Each function has arguments and
results that are tensor-valued, and npcomprt::Tensor is the runtime type
that is used to interact with that (and a npcomprt::Ref<T>
reference-counting wrapper is provided to wrap npcomprt::Tensor in the
common case).
From an implementation perspective, an npcomprt module at the
LLVM/object/binary level exposes a single module descriptor struct that
has pointers to other metadata (currently just a list of function
metadata descriptors). All interactions with the npcomp runtime are
keyed off of that module descriptor, including function lookups and
dispatching. This is done to dodge platform ABI issues and also allow
enough reflection to e.g. verify provided arguments.
Most of the compiler-side work here was in LowerToNpcomprtABI and
LowerToLLVM.
Also,
- Rename npcomp_rt/NpcompRt to npcomprt/Npcomprt; it was getting
annoying to type the underscores/caps.
- misc improvements to bash_helpers.sh
* Gets us passed the upstream changes that enable type interfaces.
* Adds the ARM backend due to an implicit IREE dependency sneaking in for that (https://github.com/google/iree/issues/2401)
* Adds explicit TypeStorage to type base classes per upstream change.
